一直向身边人疯狂安利费登奎斯训练，因为我真的很喜欢这种身体学习的方式，喜欢到希望能自己也成为费登奎斯教练。于是决定坐下来认真和这个职业中的人们谈谈，这是第一期，请到了我自己的启蒙教练，75岁的Marilyn Bakun。

I love learning about my body. One of my wildest dreams after graduation is to work as a Feldenkrais Coach. In this episode I invited my own Feldenkrais teacher in new york, Marilyn Bakun, to share with me her journey of becoming a Feldenkrais practitioner at the age of 55 and, along the way, keeping the curiosity and learning to trust oneself.
